Learn Who Hosts SNL Subsequent To Tonight’s Anne Hathaway Installment!! But Not Whether We’ll See An O.J. Jury Sketch!!
UPDATE!! Forgot to watch? Some highlights:
I am – Hercules!!
A jury foreman just read a verdict in Las Vegas and it looks like O.J. Simpson may be going to prison for the rest of his life. It was almost midnight here on the West Coast; the jury apparently wanted to give the verdict -- guilty on all 12 counts of robbery and kidnapping -- Friday, on the 13th anniversary of Simpson’s murder acquittal. If there’s a sketch this Saturday set in that jury room, I’m guessing it won’t be on “MADtv.”
Or perhaps we'll see a sketch dealing with apathetic would-be O.J.-inspired rioters?
“W” boy Josh Brolin hosts on the 18th, “Mad Men” lead Jon Hamm on the 25th.
Look! Press release!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NBC'S "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" PREPARES A PACKED OCTOBER
Six Live Broadcasts Set for Month of October
Three Live Saturday Episodes to Feature Anne Hathaway, Josh Brolin and Jon Hamm with music from The Killers, Adele and Coldplay
"Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday" Three-Week Primetime Run Begins October 9 at 9:30 PM
New York, NY – Sept 29, 2008 – After dominating headlines and ratings with its early launch in mid-September, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" shows no signs of slowing with six live broadcasts slated for the month of October (three live Saturday "SNL's" and three live primetime Update specials).
The traditional SNL Saturday slot will feature some of the hottest names in the business for its three October episodes.
On OCTOBER 4, Anne Hathaway hosts with musical guest The Killers. This is Hathaway's "SNL" debut. Hathaway rose to silver screen stardom with the family film hit "The Princess Diaries" and its successful sequel. She made the seamless transition to more adult roles with the award-winning and critically adored "Brokeback Mountain" opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger. She went on to star opposite Meryl Streep in the blockbuster comedy "The Devil Wears Prada" and opposite Steve Carell in this summer's hit "Get Smart." She will next be seen in Jonathan Demme's "Rachel Getting Married" which is already generating critical praise for her performance. She will also be seen in the drama "Passengers" and the romantic comedy "Bride Wars" (co-written by SNL cast member Casey Wilson).
Joining Hathaway on October 4 is musical guest The Killers. In their third SNL appearance, the band will debut songs from their forthcoming record "Day & Age" which arrives on November 25. This is the Killers' third studio record, following the Grammy-nominated platinum releases 2006's "Sam's Town" and 2004's "Hot Fuss." The lead single from "Day & Age,"-- "Human" -- is already exploding as the No. 1 most-added song on radio.
On OCTOBER 18, SNL welcomes Josh Brolin and musical guest Adele. Brolin is already generating heat for his upcoming portrayal of President George W. Bush in Oliver Stone's eagerly awaited biopic "W." Brolin will also be seen opposite Sean Penn in "Milk." Most recently, Brolin starred in the Coen Brothers' Oscar-winning "No Country For Old Men" (for which Brolin won a SAG Award as part of the Best Ensemble) and in the hit "American Gangster" opposite Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Brolin made his film debut in the enduring blockbuster comedy "The Goonies" and has gone on to star in a wide variety of films including the comedy "Flirting With Disaster" with Ben Stiller, Guillermo del Toro's "Mimic," the "Planet Terror" half of "Grindhouse" as well as the Iraq war drama "In The Valley of Elah."
20 year-old UK soul singing sensation Adele joins Brolin in making her "SNL" debut on the 18th as musical guest. Adele will perform from her critically acclaimed debut record "19." "19" debuted at No. 1 on the UK charts and was short listed for the prestigious annual Mercury Prize. Stateside, Adele is garnering major attention for her "endearing charm and powerhouse pipes" (Washington Post).
Finally, on OCTOBER 25, "SNL" features the award-winning star of the Emmy-winner for Best Drama "Mad Men," Jon Hamm with musical guest Coldplay. Hamm has become a breakout star on the critically lauded cable series "Mad Men" and has received a Golden Globe, for his performance as well as a SAG and Emmy nomination for Best Actor. He will next be seen opposite Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connolly in the upcoming sci-fi remake "The Day The Earth Stood Still." Hamm's previous credits include the indie comedy "Kissing Jessica Stein" "Space Cowboys" and "We Were Soldiers."
Returning to SNL as musical guest is one of the biggest bands in the world – Coldplay. The band will perform from their latest album "Viva La Vida" which, upon its release this summer was the No 1 selling album in 36 countries. In addition to its sales success (breaking iTunes records for downloads and pre-orders), the record is garnering significant critical praise for its "confident majesty" (Entertainment Weekly) and its balance of experimentation and mass appeal, prompting the UK music magazine Q to call it "an emphatic success."
In addition to the star studded Saturdays, "SNL" is ready for primetime with "Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday" -- three LIVE primetime half-hours beginning October 9 at 9:30pm ET. These primetime special editions will be anchored by the show's signature "Weekend Update." This marks a return to the NBC Thursday night lineup for "SNL," which produced similar live "Update"-centered broadcasts in 2001.
“Saturday Night Live” is from SNL Studios in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels. Steve Higgins produces. Marci Klein and Mike Shoemaker are producers. Seth Meyers is head writer. Don Roy King directs.

Hmmmm....isn't she busy. I guess it's not too much trouble since she shoots her series in NYC.
-
...OJ will have better luck finding Nicole's killer in prison than he did on the golf courses of America for the last 13 years.
-
The Veep debate didn't give Fey much to work with. Is there any change they'll cold open with anything else? No? You betcha.I will look forward to Update covering the Hustler.larry flynt XXX movie with he palin look-alike. So far the best fake title I've heard has been "Veep Throat". You don't have to be old to get that, do you?
-
No digital short last week? Thats a bit of a gay.
-
I'd really like to see them bring in some surprising musical guests like they used to.
-
IMPERIAL EMPEROR VICE PRESIDENT PALIN!!!!!! *wink*
-
I'm right on the coast with you and the guilty verdict was read at 10:50pm. Aint It Old News. ;)
-
And not with tiny little footsteps.
-
Oct 04, 2008 4:08:44 AM CDT
OJ was just found guilty in Vegas. That's cool news, ain't it?
by missing dink
-
FUCK YES.
-
O.J. probably got convicted by his all-white jury SOLELY on the murders 13 years ago, NOT based on the evidence of this latest case. Which, ironically, is just as evil and wrong as his black jury acquitting him 13 years ago, when all of the evidence and motive (and bloodstains leading to his doorstep) pointed to O.J.'s being guilty of double homicide.I feel sorry for the poor sap who got convicted with O.J., because he believed in the system and didn't cop a plea.
-
Yeah... THAT'S a coincidence. :?Just the jury's little way of saying "Bad luck for YOU O.J... it's Guiliani TIME!!!" >:D
-
Please be raped please be raped please be raped.
-
Betting she will host later this year. The Gossip Girl cast has been attending the shows..she was in a digital short w/James Franco. Only a matter of time.
-
it's true...google it.
-
Fey's spending WAAAAY to much time on these Palin sketches. She better hope Obama Bin Biden win so she can quit after November or she might as well go back to being a regular.
-
O.J. will be the first victim of 'white man's racist justice system' to receive a full presidential pardon under the Obama Bin Biden administration.
-
Very nice, and wish more celebrities would be open about revealing neat details like this. It's obviously no one else's business, but if they don't mind...

sorry, futurehelp;Hathaway anal thing is a false RUMOR
by shiftyeyeddog2
Disproven by Esquire themselves, where she supposedly gave the interview where she said it:http://defamer.com/5057439/how-the-anne-hathaway-loves-anal-sex-rumor-fooled-the-internet
-
If the show had to rely only on its regulars, no one would be talking about it.
-
The Palin impersonations, performed by Tiny Fey (the incarnation of Nancy Kulp), are wearing thin. Where are the Joe Biden sketches? This guy has articulated some mind-numbing gaffes; an opportunity is wasted because the show adhesively sticks to its party alliance. Even the network can't rescue 30 ROCK (the public has no tolerance for Fey beyond a 3-minute constraint). And, naturally, Obama is canonized as a saint (though, earlier this year, he was portrayed as an inexperienced goober whom the media inflated; opponent Hillary Clinton was the demigod). SNL's comedy quota expires after the opening sketch. Their comedy and politics is depressingly predictable.
-
you are the ONLY person in the world who thinks the Fey as Palin sketches are wearing thin. People are tuning in specifically to see those sketches. and 30 Rock is a great show as well. you're just mad because your party is getting completely thrashed in polls, and taking it out on anything that isn't outright pro-republican. Go back to watching FoxNews Channel.
-
I could see it get old quick. But Biden hasn't really made any headlines, and Palin just lends herself to a funnier impression. If the show was actually mocking them in some political way, they could include Biden. But mostly, they're making fun of what we've seen of her so far. But yeah, I also suspect SNL prefers making fun of Republicans. The problem is, Biden hasn't done anything particularly funny lately.Palin sketch prediction: Tina Fey turns to the camera, gives us a grin and a wink, accompanied by a "bling" sound affect.
-
Unless he's in protective custody, his fellow inmates will probably dispense some prison yard justice on him.
-
Oct 04, 2008 11:41:49 AM CDT
Biden isn't as funny to make fun of because he knows he's funny
by backrivercatfish
while Palin is just plain dumb and doesnt realize it, like W.
-
You're an idiot. I'm a card-carrying Democrat but I prefer a non-partisan edge to comedy. Biden, the perfect "dumb guy", dropped some bombshells that the media barely covered. And Fey's humor is redundant (test patterns draw better ratings than 30 ROCK). In spite of my political allegiance, I'm not happy about the party. Nancy Pelosi (who should have been nominated as prez) detained the bailout with some catty dialogue. And Obama is infusing his negativity with censorship; I'm very ANTI-censorship so he lost my vote (hello, Ralph Nader). If you think that McCain is already defeated...well, I remember everyone thought that Kerry would win by a landslide.
-
NO ONE ever thought Kerry would win by a landslide. If YOU ever thought that, you're an even more out of touch than I thought. As fo McCain, yes, things can change in 30 days, but judging by current polls, mapped by electoral votes, Mccain only has 163, Obama 264, and 111 "toss-ups" - thats a pretty severe trouncing:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/obama_vs_mccain/
*and this site, RealClearPolitics, averages all polling companies so as to eliminate bias
-
I can see him with the pulled-up eyes and crazy smile look. He'd do a great job.
-
...even though I think it's a bit heavy handed. Biden is a comedy goldmine. They could royally spoof him throwing out his 16 factually incorrect statements in spectacular style.
And for those who think this election is going to be won handily...forget everything you think you know. There will probably be 2-3 more lead changes in the polling. And I swear to God if McCain wins and I am going to puke upon hearing two things ad nauseum:
US is racist for not electing Obama and/or the election was fixed.
If that's you, go fuck yourself in advance. -
Anyone who tells you that your candidate has already won (or lost) by a substantial margin is simply trying to trick you into not bothering to vote. The election is over when the votes are counted, (and sometimes weeks later), not a month ahead of time.
-
panel one: The Three Pals are sitting on the couch watching TV. the OJ verdict is announced as they look on in dumbfounded shock.panel two: Blousie: "Okay, innocent until proven guilty, that's a good system."panel three: Blousie: "But innocent after proven guilty? That's ridiculous!"
-
Just letting the h8ters know.
-
Is Tina Fey prepared to keep doing Palin for the next 8 years? Or 12 is McCain dies in his second term and then she's reelected.Tchah, like that's gonna happen...Hey crude vulgar horny fellow, that's your cue. The line is "I'd do Palin for the next eight years..."
-
MUST DO GOONIES SKETCH!!! Bill Hader as Sloth!!! This must happen.
-
Will probably be based on slang penis names ala One Eyed Willie.
-
Heh heh...
-
Haha, like we're not going to hear the Neo-Cons, rednecks, and the blissfully ignorant (that all that Republicans are these days) whine:
"The entire media is in the tank for Obama"
"Voter fraud!"
"Sexism!"
etc...
-
Somehow I doubt SNL's OJ jokes will reach Norm MacDonald-level intensity.
-
I'm afraid you're right. McCain will win. People tend to forget about the large bunch of republican folks in the Midwest who aren't real vocal in the lead-up to the election but come out in force on election days, while citizens in urban areas forget to vote or simply never even fucking register. Urbanites and the media from the East and West coasts love to scream at each other and compare polls, but in terms of the general populace vote, McCain's got it. Just look at the 2004 election, which forever made me lose faith in democratic elections. One of the worst administrations in the history of the country and they were fucking commended by the red states for it. Texas will secede from this shitty union soon anyways, but not before I cast my vote for Obama. And I'm a fucking Republican. Palin is what pushed me over. Can't stand that bitch. I will be watching and laughing my ass off at SNL tonight, and then jerking off to Fey as I go to sleep.
-
Actually, Bush is what pushed me out of the Republican leanings I once had, but I figured he wasn't really representative of the Republican party, in spirit, but apparently he is. Palin's scary religious views and anti-abortion stance is despicable and a step backwards for women everywhere.
-
Then how do you know there was no evidence? From what I read there was plenty for at least the armed robbery charges.
-
And stick my eager penis in that enormous Joker mouth of hers. I think I'll throw on Havoc and get a boner ready to wack off on during SNL tonight DICK MASTER SWORD CHIZORO ACTIVATE SCRAPPY NIPPLES.
-
Not much to work with?? Are You Freakin Kidding me! She says Nuculer like W,winks about every ten minutes, and has some strange accent that i can't place. she tries to be like some every day down home livin syle gal. i think there's plenty to work with. plus Obama talks like The Rock in his WWE days. Fey's Couric interview as Palin was spot on and funny whether you like Palin or not.
-
If he wasn't famous or killed two black people the so-called "Trial of the Century" would have never made news in the first place.And for the record,yes the fucker is guilty on all counts.
Next...! -
The new Knight Rider or Heroes?
-
And no, in comparison to the Couric interview, there's not much to work with in the debate. Mostly because it wasn't as much a debate as it was an opportunity to regurgitate talking points and wink at the audience.
-
I've watched an aggregate 20 minutes of the show over the weeks and all I know is that when a human uses a figure of speech and a computer or robot misunderstands and takes him literally and witty banter ensues...that's comedy gold! GOLD! Literally. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.
-
Don't drop the soap asshole!
-
Are we certain?
-
make a good current time president
-
Killing two people and getting away with it, going to jail 13 years later only because he committed another series of felonies is a pretty piss poor example of karma.
-
Sorry bout that. I still like SNL by the way glad people are watching it again.
-
Palin's inability to answer the actual questions being posed- and her open admission of this fact- will probably be included.
-
A movie about two friends (Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson) who find out they've planned their wedding ceremonies for the exact same day. Thus, the two girls try to outdo each other.
-

Maybe they'll do a "Young Palin" skit instead with Hathaway

you're not too busy these days right?
-
KO'd by Seth Petruzelli 14 seconds into their impromptu Elite XC fight. Ken Shamrock couldn't make it due to an eye injury in training yesterday.
-
I bet CBS canceled further shows as soon as the ref stopped the fight.
-
classic.
-
Tina Fey plays her to a T.
-
and I think Queen Latifah should become a cast member
-
...he committed this series of crimes in order to get back the suit he wore when he was acquitted. And the talent portion actually made me burst out laughing. Awesome. At the very least these openers have been entertaining.
-
Ironic is what i meant. So yeah, not true karma, because he's being punished for something he actually did, as opposed to just getting his later for no reason. But if you consider that if he wouldn't have commit this crime if it weren't for the first one, it's a little karmic.
-
Yeah, it was obvious satire and TDS and Colbert are smarter about it but that was still some tough stuff in the bailout skit. We are through the looking glass, people.
-
...but they are never ever bad
-
They are always disappointing. They never have their sound sorted out. Flower is invariably drowned out by the band.
-
now THAT's comedy!!
-
in this Mary Poppins sketch
-
Best sketch of the night (besides the opening).
-
And it was saved for the last 20 minutes...
-
You'll never live that screwup down now.
-
The show has been pretty damn good tonight. Kristen Wig's token "spaz" sketch was actually good. Loved the Marry Poppins bit. Killers were good. WAHLBERG WAS THE BEST THING SINCE LAZY SUNDAY. only weak bit was the the digital short.
-
theyve saved the best (non-opening) sketch of the show for the last 10 minutes every show this season. but that wahlberg sketch was NOT it. He does a great wahlberg impression, but it was wasted on a dumb sketch and concept.
-
"Hey, goat. I like your beard. I had a beard in 'The Perfect Storm.'"
-
that katie perry skit was the last straw. untalented, unfunny, and unattractive. please fire her!
-
That Katy Perry impression was painful. What the fuck was Lorne thinking hiring her????
-
I refuse to listen to any band that wears overly elaborate clothing. So I'm guessing Katie Perry won't be on SNL any time soon? I guess someone at SNL isn't a fan...
-

Very solid night. Hathaway was unimpactful. Sudeikis gets MVP
by george newman
he had a lot of great sketches. The Hader and Samberg cameos were pretty awesome too.
-
The first few shows of this season have been some of the worst. I think they are trying too hard and relying to much on Tina Fey to hit a homerun a week. Which she ain't, believe me. The writing has been terrible as well. I can watch and entire show and not even smile once. Don't get me wrong, I've been a big fan of SNL from the very beginning but this is sad.
-
been cut repeatedly since last season. What the fuck?
-
Nearly equal opportunity in their political party bashing, too. Biden's gay marriage bit... Barney Frank admitting its kind of their fault, too, before Pelosi shuts him up. Good stuff.And Casey there has overstayed her welcome. She should have had something funny under her belt by now.
-
But the Wahlberg sketch was funny. Someone doing a dead-on impression of someone that doesn't seem like their voice is unique enough to warrant an impression is always funny. If anyone understood that, I thank you.
-
and it was fucking funny, too. but the rest of it... meh. except for the opening, of course, with tina fey skewering palin's idiocy.
-
isn't it more efficient to just jack to a good hi-res shot of her? Than to bother watching her try to do comedy for 90 mins? Please SNL, stop devoting entire episodes to the cast trying to prop up a beauty queen for an hour and a half. Only invite people who might actually bring something to the show...
-
She NAILED that Mary Poppins sketch, and read the cue cards less (or less-obviously) than the entire cast, so I don't think they were "propping her up" at all. So far, she and Anna Faris have been the best hosts of the season. Decent show tonight, albeit a few too many filler sketches. At least they were still amusing. But the Lawrence Welk, Mary Poppins, and Wahlberg sketches were pretty hilarious, thanks more to the performances than the writing.
-
Missed the walberg sketch but the mary poppins sketch was good.I got caught up in stand by me on amc.shit I guess I will have to look for it on hulu later since that seems like it was the only other thing that was good on there tonight.
-
Who else can look that good with no makeup and after gettin punched in the face??!!
Kimbo gettin knocked out i 2 seconds was quite a shock. Bet that guy is gonna think he's the king shit now....HA!! -

"marriage is a sacred union between two unwilling teenagers"
by jules windex
That was the best of the Palin skits they've done. Loved the Wahlberg bit. Anne, who is just stunningly gorgeous btw, was a very good host. I thought they really wasted Anna Faris last week but this week was a bounceback. And Casey Wilson is way cute, sorry she ain't a size 2. Her comedic skills are still debatable though, but she's had some funny moments.
-
A nod to Chris Farley, wherever your fat ass is.
-
They should have booked Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne doing their new song "Let It Rock" which is currently the most vibrant song on the radio!!! And what about T-Pain and his new track "I Can't Believe It"...another great track??? As well, how come they haven't had the Nine Inch Nails on, but again, like the others I mentoned, they were not booked on the show???The Killers are the worst band ever, even Fallout Boy laugh at them, and they are terrible too, just not as terrible as The Killers!!! Who the hell is booking the guests on Saturday Night Live??? Whom ever they are, they should be fired!!!
-
Seemed like every sketch was a musical nnumber in some way or another.
-
What I meant to say was that it(the homocide) would not have received as much attention/sensationalism if not for A.His celebrity status and especially B.If Nicole and Ron were Black or Latino.When it all came down to it the trial/verdict was about Race: White people mad, Black people happy. (broad generalization nonteheless..)No one won accept for OJ who hasn't been "Black" since he won the Heisman Trophy.Why support a guy whose only contribution to the Black community was to open Fried Chicken franchises?He's as much of a prick as Buh, except that "Dubya" is responsible for way more American deaths "irregardless" of Race or Gender.Simpson the arrogant fuck got his Karma, so when will Georgie get his come uppings?!?
700 Billion bailout which may stil include Golden Parachutes for greedy ass CEOs?To quote that song (from System of a Down)Fuck the System!! -
His face angers me. His delivery infuriates me. I declare him a bastard in a basket.
And Tina Fey...by Crom, she is the hottest thing I've ever laid my thorax on. If only I could have access to that hot crone and get her to stay in Sarah Palin character for an evening... -
Let's go talk to some animals.
-
There is no such thing. And I was wrong about SNL. The debate sketch was the best of Tina's Palin bits and it wasn't overkill.
-
I actually don't believe in karma, and don't know why i posted two comments about it. I think in general, OJ going to jail now for trying to steal back his acquittal suit is more poetic or ironic, but it does seem like it would fall into the 'karma' definition. But i think in real life, people who tend to fuck up or do fucked up things eventually do it again, especially when given a second chance. Its not karma, it's patterns. (And now, 3 posts about this).
-
seriously themark wahlberg bit was fucking hillarious, its was funny because he's not a celebrity that can be easily inpersonated, and the fact that he was just talking to animals made it even funnier in that pointless stupiud way"say hi to your mother for me, ok" line come from, did mark say that in a movie or did samberg just make it up, either way they should bring him back, hell even get marky mark to host and have samberg do the impression on the show..mark seems like a guy who can laugh at himself
-
SNL is NAILING IT. Tina Fey IS Sarah Palin. She's a joke and they get it. It's hilarious. Also their Joe Biden, also hilarious!
-
Tina Fey's Sarah Palin is not that far from the truth.
-
the OJ murder line tossaway, all good. I'm I the only one who found Armisen's Barney Frank to be hilarious? And is the digital short now becoming one of the weakest skits?
-
The best thing I have ever seen. Catchy lil diddy and funny to boot. Sambergs the goods.
-
Huh, a Lawrence Welk skit. Cute. It's a wonder that doesn't get lampooned more often.
-
lets hope kristen wiggs character returns, cause that character need a homelifealso i know women who look like that
-
They have yet to take on the left in any substantive way. There was plenty to mock about Biden aside from how he complimented McCain alot. They lay into Palin in every way possible.. and then lightly rib on Biden. How 'bout making fun of the hypocrisy in his whole presentation since not but 8 months ago the man was AGREEING with the rights criticisms of Obama? How 'bout making fun of his incessant jawing about the middle class, when in reality him and Barry voted 100's of times to raise taxes on them? How 'bout making fun of the Obama McCain attacking McCain for being old and "inside" Washington.. meanwhile Biden is old and "inside" Washington? How 'bout in the next Obama - McCain debate skit they make fun of Obama for having LESS substance than Palin? For fucks sake, why not make fun of Bidens fucking Botox?
And the housing crisis skit was a cop out, too. "Democrats had a hand in it, too" my ass. Democratic social engineering CAUSED the entire thing. Why not go after that angle?
Where can I find some comedy with some fucking balls for a change?
ohhh.. making fun of republicans... how gutsy. -
Two words: Boo Hoo

and they just keep giving them more material!

how little i liked that digital short.

Are prime examples of why conservatives are never funny. Dennis Miller after he became a neo-con, the rednecks of the Blue Collar comedy tour, that attempt by Fox to make their own version of the Daily Show and the latest, An American Carol (torrented it, it was brutal). Tina Fey's Palin is what the audience wants to see, that was the only real laughter fodder in that debate.

they make fun of republicans cause its easier to pick on the los
by indyabbey jones
i mean why make fun of the demicrats now when they are gonna have at least the next four years to do that, the republicans will only be lampoonable for another month or so, might as well make as many mccaim/pallin jokes now before they fade and are just asterisks in the history books next to the 2008 presidential campain chapter

...something tells me EVERY TIME is a guess for you.

Thank you for providing example #6,981 of why right-wing attempts at comedy fail. Comedians look for the funny in a situation. They don't consciously think about bias and try to hang the funny on snarky talking points. I mean, how dense are you? You just listed a bunch of Republican talking points verbatim - most of them not even being true - and you want illustrating them would make for a comedy sketch? You need to turn off the radio, computer and television and go for a walk.

Whatever.

The Democrat Leadershp is corrupt also, just not as openly in your face as corrupt as the Republicans and that is the difference between the two. Voting for the Dems is voting for the lessor of the two evils. Better you be killed with kindness than killed with outward viciousness!!!

blaming the Dems for much of the economic crisis, and pointing out the hypocrisy of the ticket's gay rights/marriage policy. The thing with satire is that it is generally about picking apart surface flaws and the idiocy, when you try to make jokes about policy it gets tricky. It is the problem the Daily Show runs into when it gets too preachy, like the recent segments about Bristol Palin's ability to make a 'choice' regarding her pregnancy. Going after policy issues comes across as spiteful and angry, which is really hard to do unless your name is Bill Hicks.

But Anne H is so watchable with my pants down.

...which band from the 80's are The Killers ripping off... uh... homaging this time?
-
and I also refuse to believe that Anne Hathaway doesn't enjoy anal sex.
-
...you watch other cable channels besides Fox News and you realize that Rush Limbaugh is officially a complete hypocrite after his Oxycontin addiction.
-
Not sure if that would have make it more funny or less.I still think Wiig should be doing Palin. I thought Fey was super-busy. Or did that Amex ad lie to us?
-
Was hilarious, my wife and I were trying to figure out why and we thought, animals, someone doing a spot on Mark Whalberg impression, equals comedy gold. I hope they bring it back next week with other animals (horse, snake, goldfish, etc). Pretty hilarious.

Word on the blogs is that the real deal Sarah Palin will be making a cameo on SNL before the election.
